Just some stuff featuring me
A few of my photos are in these leaflets, so I thought I’d share. The Hind Leys workshop is for under 19s, but feel free to come along to the shopping event, I hope to see you there!


Some good news and a photo of my OH looking like a nutter
To me, they look like Jo Brand and a little boy with a beard but here is my OH (right) and his colleague marking some kind of church centenary thing in the village today…

I can also announce now that Itemise (http://www.itemise.co.nz) are my new distributors in New Zealand. There was a trade show in Auckland at the end of last month and a few orders were placed, here was the stand and my stuff on it


Make 50: Week 37
I’ve started making cards! What do you think- do they work?

Gone dotty…
I’ve been playing around with the new two part silicone ring mould from Resin Obsession (http://www.resinobsession.com) these last few days, and whilst I threw away my first attempt (just came out in pieces) these are my second and third attempts…



I am quite pleased with the rough effect and the mix of opaque and translucence, so I think I will make more and create a “Gone Dotty” range! What do you think?
Two online stockists
Thought I’d plug two of my new stockists online today (I am looking for more on and offline shops too so let me know if you’re a shop owner and interested!)…
Firsty there is The Oriental Magpie: http://www.theorientalmagpie.com

Loads of lovely goodies, I especially like the bird brooches from Hungry Designs.
Also there is the Beach Hut Boutique: http://beachhutboutique.com (there’s me 2nd one along!)


Lots of variety here, I have chosen to show the skeleton cards from Dr Zorlock. Different and anatomically correct!
New moulds in the PennyDog shop!
There are now more stocks of Resin Obsession moulds in the shop (www.pennydog.com), sorry these have been out of stock so long! I’m also expecting some more top up stock within the next week, so things can only get better!
In addition to those you may have already seen, I have introduced another two moulds to my stock list, firstly a coaster mould. This looks like it would make a nice trinket dish if moulding on the positive side of the mould, though I haven’t tried it yet! Moulding on the negative (normal) side, you can create coasters- here is my example of what it makes!

I’ve also got a new multimould in stock which has hearts and stars for pendants, magnets, keyrings, etc, here’s some of the things I’ve made with that:

And here are the moulds themselves, I’m selling these at £4.50 each. (clicking will directly link you to the product page):
The start of something wonderful…
I got the keys to this place on Friday! Yes, all of it (except the Lexus 4×4)!

All of the rooms are huge, including the kitchen…

The breakfast room (which will be the pie room as OH is going into business with a local chef)…

The man room (where OH will go to think upon manly things- see deer head for scale!)…


The living room (which was once the full house, back when it was a boarding house for monks back in the 12th Century)…

This is the courtyard area for parking, behind the pig sties (where we are going to keep chickens) is the garden. We even have a well!

And of course the bit you all are waiting to see… here is my workshop/studio room! By the way those chairs are definitely not staying.

Not sure about the carpet- it’s in good nick and sort of the colours I want, do I pull up and replace with lino, or do I cover it with clear plastic (either way it needs to be resinproof)?

This is the sewing machine desk in the corner, though the plug isn’t compatible, so don’t think I’ll be using it. It has been untouched for years, and so I felt bad rifling through the stuff of an old lady who passed away. This includes what I like to call “the embroidery of guilt” which after finding it half finished, I feel I owe it to the lady to finish it. Or maybe I should frame it half done? What do you think? I have lots of questions!


And this is the shop area! The picture is taken from the front door, which will be the “trade entrance”, the room to the left of the grandfather clock is the workroom. The other doors aren’t in use, the closest one is mysteriously locked, and the other one is full of old trinkets and mouse poo (including a hip flask I found that still has alcohol in it)!

I plan on moving this mirror from the bedroom down into the shop too…

Also today I went to Breedon Priory again and came back with all of this stuff!
